Fork twister

For Christmas, I crafted photo holders from forks. I picked forks out of a large bin of silverware at local antique mall. Every one came from a different place setting.

Every one of them bent differently. Most difficult part was curling the tines in front. I wrapped duct tape around my Vise-Grip’s jaws to avoid scratching, but I still left scratches. I wish I could figure out how to totally eliminate those annoying scratches.

Hubby said he likes the tortured silverware projects I’ve been doing, but I shouldn’t start torturing toys. He doesn’t have to worry. I lack an inner Sid the Toy Torturer. Silverware, however, is entirely another story.
